8 The Factory is a mid-terrace house in Castle Eden, Hartlepool, Hartlepool (TS27 4SR). It has a recorded floor area of 283 m² (around 3046 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 283 m² the property is well over the postcode median (153 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £372,000 sits 190.6% above the 2001 sale of £128,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£42/sq ft) was about 64.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2004. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
